[QUOTE="Boomerang, post: 7205328, member: 4658"] help needed , I currently ride giant cypress, an old sit up and beg thing. I want to upgrade,but what to ? I do back road riding, dont do main roads ,odd bit of off road tracks maybe 85_90% road rest off., (it's flat where I am ,ignore avatar) Ride varying lengths but often 30 miles, 45 miles some weeks do 40 miles others 100. Ride purely for pleasure /fitness. Not sure what to get. But not an out and out road bike, no need for a mountain bike. But another hybrid ? Or one of these gravel type. Then flat bar or drops? not sure I want, need, arse up head down. Steel ,carbon , aluminium frame ?? Is carbon worth it , steel too heavy ?? Ive no idea. . Budget £1500 to £2000 for right bike . Hiking and biking is my thing, so thought it time I treated myself ,to a decent new bike,. Comfort is important, my bike weighs 14.5kg, what's a good sensible weight to aim for ,the bike not me . As you can see I've no idea what to do . 1x or 2x gears , is 1x too big a gap after what I'm used to. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
